help with NetClient

[davidgriffo]

My application is getting a error -3
I would like some help to understand the problem.

The error states that I have "too many nettalk netauto instances on one machine"

How many is too many and how do I calculate how many instances I have running?

thanks

Hi David,

>> The error states that I have "too many nettalk netauto instances on one machine"
>> How many is too many

the Default is 5. (on the same UDP port number).
You can control both the maximum nnumber, and the UDP port number, using NetOptions.

More specifically instances running on _this_ machine? That's more tricky to calculate - the obvious answer if you get this error though is one more than MaxInstances is set to <g>.

cheers
